Watendlath.

From the Norse. The barn at the end of the lake.
Very few remains of the earliest settlers in Cumbria have been found and a good reason could well be that people are still living on top of them. The landscape around Watendlath is a case in point. Some field walls date back to the time when the land was cleared of rocks for the plough to operate. These clearance walls are immense. Ash trees around the lake have been and still are pollarded and are of great antiquity, if under threat at the moment.
If you were to dig under the kitchen of some of the houses in the picture signs of habitation could go back almost two thousand years.
